This is a very concise and to the point book about application performance. It has captured the essence of performance of applications and capacity planning for an on field engineer. Additionally, Bob Wescott has also provided insightful tips on giving presentation tips especially when telling the bad news.

I always connect with Bertie Wooster.. He ties himself into knots till jeeves steps in to untie the knots. Aunt Dahlia and the analogy of circumstances gave me the most chuckle and like all jeeves books, Wooster and co. along with a mug of coffee makes a Sunday afternoon worthwile.

The start was griping and Jeffery Archer again reminded me of what a great story teller he is. However, the pace of the story grags a bit after election of Giles Barrington and Alex Fisher. However, it gets compensated with an abrupt ending leaving you to try reading the blank pages in the end.

Overall it is a nice read and it is just about worth spending a weekend reading it!

PS: This is part of a trilogy and I haven't read the prequels of it. So my next stops will be the prequels!
